The Thoughts of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus - Paperback

by Therese Of Lisieux (Author)

A Saint's wisdom often arrives in sentences small enough to carry into the day. The Thoughts of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus gathers her counsels, letters, and remembered words into a handbook for souls who want holiness without pretense. Here, Dear Reader, are St. Thérèse's clean insights on charity, detachment, confidence, prayer, Holy Communion, and the patient alchemy of suffering--each line urging a quieter self and a freer love. She does not argue you into devotion; she trains the heart by directing it, again and again, toward Jesus with childlike trust and steady sacrifice. This inspiring work concludes with prayers from St. Thérèse's own pen, giving you language for consecration, courage, and fidelity when words are hardest to find.
